First trial today and managed to get her through scrutineering with only having to create a front grille
The trail started like this, first guy on the first section through the second gate :doh:
So had a good day, a few breakages rad came loose once, air intake came off when my mate was driving and stopped him mid course (meant I got further on that section )
Exhaust got wedged on a bank and stalled the car !!! :doh: and a few other little bits but nothing major
Trees were preety low though ...
Best of all managed to walk away with 3rd place
Just need more steering lock now but apart from that happy with the car

Nicely done mate .. makes it worth the effort ..
Like the challenge wings.
Defiantely does massive adrenalin high
The challenge wings and cage make a massive difference. Gives you the confidence to put it in some hairy situations and nicely pushes branches shrubbery or in 1 instance a whole tree away to allow you to get good lines best investment by far and not dear either
Just a few modifications to make and she'll be awesome

The bumper never troubled me today and changing the bumper width changes my trials class

Ok we have an oil leak
The filter is slightly catching on the diff (going to do remote filter) but the leak is coming from the seal behind the filter which looks like abit of a bitch to do
Nay mind this is racing

Isnt that seal attached to the filter itself?

Looks like it goes behind the whole front cover plate ull have to get the filter housing up and have a look / design a better position for the filter as itll get destroyed soon

You could lift the engine a tad with some spacers on mounts. Theres some shallow filters that fit too.
Got a remote filter kit if you want it?

Have you still got that k&n filer on? It looks rather large compared to the normal ones.

Yeah still got that one but even a smaller one is prone to attacks by sticks etc. Remote is the way to go
the diff actually goes behind the filter and just catches the housing anyway so a smaller filter wouldnt help.Similar threads
